Croton Point Park; One hour north of New York City

[5outta6]

We stayed at Croton Point Park (Westchester County Parks) for a week in early May 2017.

It is a county park with beaches, trails and RV campsites on the Hudson River about an hour north of New York City (by commuter train).

The commuter train is 1.5 miles from the campground.

The RV sites have full hookups and there are restrooms nearby.

Atleast half of the RV sites seem to be occupied by full timers, possibly working on the new Tarrytown Bridge.
My opinion is that full timers detract from the ambience of the park.

Our site was spacious and included a picnic table. We were across from a playground and a larage building which must be used for events and gatherings.

The park was pretty quiet at night.

The grass is well maintained but the inner roads at RV sites lack maintenance.

I would rate this park a 5 star for location but a 3 star for maintenance.

If I recall our weekly rate was about $250. for a non-resident.

West Point is on the other side of the Hudson River and about a half hour away (at non commute time).

Grace Lane kennels is about 8 miles away ( oldest kennel in US) and is a 5 star kennel.

If we ever get out that way again we will be sure to stay at Croton Point Park.

Croton on Hudson is one of our go to places when we travel from MA to Florida.It's a nice park and it is convenient to get to for us. It is also very close to the the Tappen Zee bridge which eventually brings us to Garden Set Parkway in NJ which we take to Florida.Its not a destination for us but a one night stop on our way south.

No stink bugs, that I know of.

We didn't drive near NYC. We came down from PA along the west side of the Hudson and took 9W and the Bear Mtn. Bridge.

We only went to NYC when we were picked up by relatives who live near Croton on the Hudson, or when we took the train twice.....

My opinion after being driven to NYC (actually the Bronx and surrounding areas, the train is the only way to go.

If I recall, off peak hours for a senior is $7 each way.

.....especially coming the Ansville Circle area.....once you get onto Rt.9, get to the left...low bridge ahead if you're in the right hand lane....unless there has been a change....grew up in the area, but it's been a while since I was last there. Croton Point Park is my old stomping grounds....grew up in Ossining
